The hotel newkamakura is just a stone’s throw away from JR line Kamakura station.

Our Hotel , which has an 80-years-old history , was originally established as The Yamagata Hotel and reputation for excellent service drew the patronage of many literary figures of the Taisho period . Among them was novelist Ryuunosuke Akutagawa who met poet Kanoko Okamoto .

Today the hotel’s historic atmosphere makes it a popular location for fashion and commercial photo shoots , and the hotel has gained international popularity largely through word of mouth publicity .
